I wasn't specifically looking for a Collings... or another mandolin at all... but I just found this one at a price that I couldn't pass up. The serial dates from 2004.
The label identifies it as an MT2. I noticed on Collings's website that the MT2V comes with the pickguard standard, while the lacquer MT2 does not. Should I assume that the pickguard on mine was a special order? Is the "V" always written on the label if it has the varnish finish?
Also, it has a good-sounding pickup that looks like a factory installation. Anyone know what brand/model it is?
